A note on Standard-Freeholder 2019 federal election coverage

Voters in Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry and the southern portion of Glengarry-Prescott-Russell, which fall within our local coverage area, will vote for their next MPs on Oct. 21.

During the 40-day campaign, the Standard-Freeholder will be concentrating its resources on SDSG and the federal issues that are important to voters in these communities. The articles and other coverage we complete during the campaign will aspire to educate and inform you on what each of the candidates has to say about the things that are important to us, here.

Full national campaign coverage is available on our website. We will also aim to include daily coverage in our print edition, providing we have the pages and space to do so.

We have already introduced you to the five (so far) declared candidates. Our coverage will focus on four or five issues that are important to us, here.

As we’ve done in the past, we are interested in hearing from you. What issue would you like to hear from your candidates on?

Please complete the poll below by the end of the day Friday, Sept. 13, 2019. You can also email your suggestion. We’ll use the poll results to guide the topics we’ll cover during the campaign, with articles starting the week of Oct. 7.
